Week 2 – Personal Values exercise with discussion
This week we spent time thinking about our personal values. It’s fascinating to reflect on what matters most to us in work and life and how those values inform our actions and experiences. It was a great conversation jam packed with insights and aha’s, here’s just a few that stood out to me.
- The paradox of value: To seek external validation from others is inherently human. Yet, to be valued by others we have to provide value to them. This can seem to be a paradox — to be valued, you must give others value…
- An equation to calculate value: There’s a simple equation in business that says value = what people are willing to pay – the cost to produce the product/service. Dan shared a framing for a more humanistic approach, value = willing to accept – effort to change. Check out the replay for Dan’s explanation of this concept.
- Values are contextual: Values aren’t static or fixed. Values are informed by our life experiences, and as we rack those experiences up over time our values can shift, expand, and be differently understood or expressed.
- When values become buzz words: Corporate America ruins lots of things, including some of our favorite value words! A value like integrity can be deeply important to us, but the word itself leaves a bad taste in the mouth when it’s used and abused in the pursuit of profit.
